Our beautiful, gorgeous little girl, Anna, has leukaemia. She was diagnosed on Monday 5 December 2011.

3 parks in 3 days

We have been to 3 parks in three days. The weather has ranged from sunshine to thunderstorms with temperatures consistently around 30° C.

We have been to Animal Kingdom (Nathan’s favourite), Epcot (mine and Heather’s favourite) and Magic Kingdom (Anna’s favourite).

We’ve been on the Kilimanjaro Safari, watched the Festival of the Lion King and ridden the legend of the forbidden mountain. Heather and I have eaten in Marrakech, drunk margaritas in Mexico and tasted Sauvignon blanc in New Zealand at the Epcot food and wine round the world Festival. Heather and Nathan have been to space and back. Anna and Nathan have been transformed into a princess and a knight at the bibbitty bobbity boutique.

But best of all, we have met almost every single Disney princess – some of them several times. Pocahontas, Tiana, Jasmine, Mulan, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, Ariel, Rapunzel, Ana and Elsa.

Anna’s give kids the world badge and our special fast pass meant we didn’t need to queue. We were escorted to the front of every single queue. Absolutely amazing!

Anna and Nathan are both very very happy. Heather and I are both very very tired.
